What is my turtle doing?

When I put my finger up to the glass in front of her face she raises her little turtle hands above her head, twists them up and makes them flutter. What does this mean? She only began exhibiting this behavior recently.

Answer #1

how do you know hes a she? the creature is saying hello back to you

Answer #2

your turtle might be male because male turtles tickle their mate when they um… you know mate

Answer #3

If it was my turtle, I wouldn’t worry unless it seemed to be in distress while it was fluttering.
